Very nice pics! :)
Maybe it's just the angle of the picture, but your foxface looks a little thin. What are you feeding him?

The foxface is the newest addition only had it for a week. But i do a combination of frozen brine soaked in garlic, algae leaf every other day or so, and formula one flake. Black is a thining color, I think its the angle his stomache is bulged from just eating.

switch that brine out for some nice mysis shrimp. Brine has no nutritional value whatsoever. If you want to beef him up i would suggest not using the brine.

once a week I soak brine in Marine Success - Vita for the vitamins and nutrients, but i might have to try that mysis.

I agree with aaron about the brine... it's like potato chips for fish... they love it, but it does nothing for them. And by algae leaf, I'm assuming you mean those dried seaweed sheets?
I can tell his stomach is bulging, but the area around his tail and such still looks thin (you can see the bone structure). Ours eats like I pig and his stomach bulges, but even then, you can't see his bone structure like that.
Here's ours...

Wow Looks Great! I'm switching foods now. Speaking of food I've tried some of the Zooplankton in the past and fish seem to love it. Any thoughts, or foods you recomend? Thanks

Haven't tried the zooplankton, but I've heard good things about it. We feed our fish a varity of frozen foods (mysis, plankton, Marine Cuisine carnivorous formula) algae sheets for the grazers such as the foxface and tangs, as well as krill or silversides for the larger carnivores. All of the frozen foods we soak in garlic.
Good luck!

The tank looks great. But if I were you, I would keep a close eye on that neon dottyback. He's gonna munch your emerald crab as soon as he can... I'd remove him before he starts doing some damage!
